As automated mobility moves closer to large-scale deployment across Europe, cities will play a central role in ensuring that innovation supports public goals. This 2026 policy statement from Eurocities explores how Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM) can be integrated into urban mobility systems in ways that enhance sustainability, accessibility, safety, and public trust.
Drawing on lessons from cities participating in European research and innovation projects, the publication outlines key principles for responsible deployment. It highlights the importance of integrating automated services with public transport, embedding CCAM into Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs), strengthening collaboration between cities, industry and governments, and ensuring robust approaches to data governance, cybersecurity, and public engagement.
The statement concludes with a set of recommendations for European institutions, national governments, local authorities, and industry to help ensure that automated mobility delivers tangible benefits for people and communities across Europe.
This resource is particularly relevant for policymakers, city authorities, mobility practitioners, researchers, and organisations working to advance connected and automated mobility in a way that aligns with Europe’s climate, social, and digital objectives.
